1 / 24Tarabuckle
Kirriemuir, Angus
A five star cottage for six on a working farm near Kirriemuir, with a large enclosed garden, summer house and fire pit looking into the Angus glens, two dogs welcome.
Somebody at Tarabuckle built a bench purely for looking at Glen Clova, and put it in the garden beside a summer house and a fire pit, which is the right set of priorities. This five star cottage for six sits on a working farm outside Kirriemuir at the edge of the Angus glens, a dog friendly base with two dogs welcome and a large enclosed garden to hold them.
A boot room with its own log store handles the wet gear, then the cottage opens into a lounge with a traditional wood burner and a kitchen diner running to a range oven and a wine cooler. A double with en suite shower sits on the ground floor, up three steps, with a bathroom alongside; two more zip and link rooms are upstairs, splitting or joining as the party requires. A few steps appear between rooms throughout, which an arthritic dog will notice before you do.
This is a farm, and it behaves like one. Dogs can be walked on the surrounding farmland, with livestock about and care expected, so it rewards the sort of dog that walks past sheep rather than at them. The reward for everyone else is the garden at dusk: fire pit going, summer house claimed, that bench doing its one job.
Kirriemuir handles town needs a few miles away, and the glens open beyond it: Clova for the classic circuit, Esk for the waterfall, Prosen for solitude. A dog with hill legs can graduate to Lochnagar before the week is out.
